Hottest trend
The Pokémon 30th Anniversary release dominated forum energy, with members across multiple threads sharing pack openings, hunting retail stores, and debating scalper-driven shortages.
Highlighted content
- A lively PSA 9 vs. CGC 10 debate erupted in Grading, with @fourthstartcg delivering the most liked response — a two-word answer that changed based purely on whether the goal was resale or personal collection.
- @ArcticLapras sparked investment discussion in market after purchasing a PSA 10 Greninja Gold Star promo for $1,900, with the thread debating gem rates, pop counts, and whether the “Gold Star” label meaningfully applies to a promo reprint.
- @Chovi spotted previously undocumented artwork differences between the Dark Persian No HP error and the standard print; @expedition delivered a gif overlay confirming the cat is measurably larger and repositioned on the error version.
- @neverforget50in07 reported receiving a $1,600 PSA partner offer on a PSA 7 Lopunny GX, which @thurco attributed to CardLadder automation misfiring on cards with no price guide entry.
- @Llyrwenne resurfaced in the member check-in thread after an extended absence, sharing life updates and noting that Yuka Morii reverse holos and Delta Species Ditto cards have jumped significantly in price.
Collection updates
- @mrbubbles acquired a complete set of BW-P CoroCoro Lottery Promos (Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion — 037–039/BW-P), awarded to just 2,000 lottery winners, noting BW-era promos remain underrated.
- @charizardespana returned CGC-slabbed autos, including a pop 1 (no 10s) card.
- @jawsh98 completed a Japanese 151 Master Ball Master Set — promos included — purely for display love, not checklist obligation.
- @johto99 shared a Flaaffy day haul plus a few extras.
- @hian_43 picked up a raw Slugma from ex Dragon for $12.50 AUD, continuing progress on an ex Dragon binder set.
Psy… psy… that’s all for today — Reporter Psyduck’s head hurts too much to cover any more market speculation.
